Chapter 2: The Crazy Letter No One Expected

After waking from the snoring of his two older brothers Tom and Chris, Marshall slowly rolled out of bed and him being on the top bunk and with the ladder kicked off it hinges again now laying on the floor, rolling of the bed would result in Marshall falling flat on his face on the hardwood floor. After getting up and dusting himself off and rubbing his face, he walked into the bathroom and turned the sink on. With the cold water running Marshall started to wash his face and got the sleep out of his eyes. "Marshall, what are you doing??" yawned Chris as he walked in the bathroom. "What does it look like dumbass?" Marshall snapped. "I wouldn't be in here if you and Tom weren't snoring louder than dad!" Marshall shoved Chris out of the way and walked out of the bathroom, Chris making faces behind his back. Marshall walked into Tom's room. "Tom....Tom...Tom!! Tom Riddle! wake up!!" Marshall insisted. "Ah oh..ah ooohh..that feels good. ahhhhh" Tom said in his sleep. Tom must have been having his fantasy dream about Rita Skeeter again. Marshall saw Tom's glass of water on his dresser and soon enough Chris walked into the room trying to wake up Tom too. Marshall grabbed Tom's glass of water and poured it on Tom and ran out of the room. Right when Marshall was gone Tom woke up very angry and saw Chris standing there laughing. Tom got up grabbed Chris's ear jerked him out of the room into the bathroom and shoved his head into the toilet...FLUSH..............FLUSH...........FLUSH..............FLUSH!!!!!Then Marshall walked in and snickered away. Tom pulled out Chris and put in Marshall head then of course.......FLUSH.........FLUSH.............FLUSH.......FLUSH!!Marshall jerked his head out and took a swing at Tom, but Tom just put his hand on Marshall's head and backed up while Marsh just swung away! Finally, Chris kicked Tom's arm and allowed Marshall to get one hit in before getting knocked down. Tom stormed out of the room looking really pissed off! "Chris!! Dumb sum bitch!! He is gonna get us in our sleep!!!" Marshall screamed at Chris and left the room going down stairs. At the bottom of the staircase was Tom all starry eyed. "Tom?? Are you okay?? Come on, I didn't hit you that hard" Marshall said. Tom pointed at the floor and Marshall looked down. "whoa!!!" both of them said and once, it was a huge pile of yellow envelopes. Tom picked one up, on the front it said

Marshall J. Riddle
233 Snake St.
Top Bunk

"Marshall its from Dumbledore!!" Tom said excitedly...Dumbledore.... Wow...I have only heard of him from the boyz! Marshall thought as he picked another up and opened it..IT WAS FROM DUMBLEDORE!! It said a bunch of stuff..."Marsh it's all a lie!" Tom said "It never said this stuff on mine!" "Well, maybe I'm special! Maybe they want me at Hogwarts more than they want you, dummy." Chris tries to look over Marshall's shoulder to read the letter. Failing that, he tries to take the letter from Marshall but he won't let go. Finally, exasperated, Chris yells "JUST READ IT OUT LOUD MARSHALL!!" Seeing that Chris was just teensy weensy tiny bit angry, Marshall handed Chris the letter, not feeling up to reading all the funny stuff himself.

Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,

Minerva Mcgonagall

Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress

"Wow, Marshall! You must be really lucky, to be an 'important asset' to Hogwarts! Because, Tom's right, that wasn't in my letter either! I wonder if it is a fake though? Maybe they're running out of kids for the school and they just want you to come," chuckled Chris.

To which Tom said, "Gee, I dunno Chris, it could be a fake letter, or maybe he really is an important asset to the school. What do you think, Marshall?"

"Well, I --"

(A/N: HAHA! I love cliffhangers. Do you like cliffhangers? I like cliffhangers. So, what does Marshall think? Or, more importantly what will Albus Dumbledore think when the boys send there response? Did Albus Dumbledore really send the letter at all? Could it be the work of Voldemort- Oh, wait. He's living under the same roof with Voldemort. Voldemort showers every morning after he does. He sleeps across the hall from him. Voldemort doesn't even really exist yet, does he? Was it the work of Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress? Why is my alternate universe taking place in the time of James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus instead of Rubeus Hagrid, the real Tom Riddle, Professor Albus Dumbledore, and Headmaster Armando Dippet? Why are my author's notes so long? Do you people really like to think so much that you read all these questions? More questions in the next chapter of...Marshall Riddle and His Hogwarts Adventures! (DUN DUN DUUUUUN!)....hey, why aren't you gone yet? are you still here? leave me alone, or the men in the white coats will get you too! just click the little chapter 3 button...whats that you say, the author hasnt written it yet? Then go read someone else's story. Go read a story by Destiny Phoenix, she writes good.
